I have successfully implemented the following on my LAN and would
like input and criticism as the effectiveness of said items and where
I should have done more or different.
1. I implemented the Classic Share via disabling Simple File Sharing
on WinXP pro on all nodes.
2. I created a user accts for each user on every node in Lan (with their
pswds) and gave each user a shared folder on each node with pertinent
share permissions and NTFS group access.
3. I created another user limited acct named BrowseWeb and did not
give it a pswd nor did I create any new folders with access permissions
nor any NTFS access rights for said user acct.
However I surmise the acct's Documents and Settings folders created by
the system for the BrowseWeb acct would be lan accessible except I did
not give this user acct a pswd and I disabled the guest acct on all
nodes. So while using this acct to browse the internet, it is not
possible to access another node.
This all seems to work well, and I surmise I am somewhat more secure than
I
was with no passwords. And now I can designate which folders I want shared
by which users as opposed to all users seeing any shared folders outside
of
their Documents and Settings folders. Of course I have a NAT router and
use AES encryption with a very long key on the wireless port.
